Product Description

 
In THE BIRDS, Alfred Hitchcock's heart-pounding follow-up to PSYCHO, the director couples a tone of rigorous morality with dark humor to create a thriller that begins as a light comedy and ends as an apocalyptic allegory. Tippi Hedren (Melanie Griffith's mother) carries the picture in her first film role ever, embarking on a career as an icy-cool leading lady. Loosely based on a Daphne du Maurier story and a Santa Monica newspaper account, "Seabird Invasion Hits Coastal Homes," THE BIRDS also features groundbreaking special effects that, in 1963, surprised and delighted audiences.

Wealthy reformed party girl Melanie Daniels (Hedren) enjoys a brief flirtation with lawyer Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor) in a San Francisco pet shop and decides to follow him to his Bodega Bay home. Bearing a gift of two lovebirds, Melanie quickly strikes up a romance with Mitch while contending with his possessive mother and boarding at his ex-girlfriend's house. One day, during a birthday party for Mitch's younger sis...

Surviving Hitchcock's Birds

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: The stylistic suspense and complicated scenarios and ageless action is pretty good especially the attack scenes. 
Review: The Birds (1963) by Alfred Hitchcock is a timeless and classic that makes for perfect viewing on a night like this.  The Birds is a movie that fit’s into the thriller category quickly aligning the viewer with the Brenner family.  The Brenner family...

THE BIRDS: Do not feed these birds!

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: Decent, but not Hitchcock's best.
Review: Everyone knows Alfred Hitchcock's films usually evolves around certain characters, and in each of these films, we learn a lot about these characters. For example, in Rear Window, we learn that the film's main character, L.B. Jeffries, is a nosey,...

Alfred Hitchcock?s The Birds - Not As Scary As I?d Been Led To Believe

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Better than many modern thriller/horror flicks, The Birds just failed to scare us.
Review: For quite some time I'd been terrified of this film. All I knew from my parents was that it was hideously scary, and not being a particular fan of horror films (and wanting to avoid nightmares), I'd shied away from it for years. When it was on...
